I feel like there should be a place to report such fraud but I am hesitant due to lack of knowledge regarding contact authenticity?

Experience/suggestions?

Much of these scam emails come from outside the USA such as eastern Europe. The Federal government has no jurisdiction over such persons and devote few, if any, resources to the activity. As others have said, use caution and your delete key.
